onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
myRadians = Math.atan2 ( \_root[COLOR=red][COLOR=black].[/COLOR]\_ymouse[/COLOR]-this.\_y, \_root[COLOR=red][COLOR=black].[/COLOR]\_xmouse[/COLOR]-this.\_x );  
myDegrees = Math.round ( ( myRadians\*180/Math.PI ) );  
\_root.yChange = Math.round ( \_root[COLOR=red][COLOR=black].[/COLOR]\_ymouse[/COLOR]-this.\_y );  
\_root.xChange = Math.round ( \_root[COLOR=red][COLOR=black].[/COLOR]\_xmouse[/COLOR]-this.\_x );  
\_root.yMove = Math.round ( \_root.yChange/20 );  
\_root.xMove = Math.round ( \_root.xChange/20 );  
this.\_y += \_root.yMove;  
this.\_x += \_root.xMove;  
this.\_rotation = myDegrees+90;  
}
